MY BLUEBURST DREAM COME TRUE!

Very nice and pictures don't do the nice bluebursts justice do they? Excellent quality too.

My advice is to keep it as is, don't spoil it. It would be like having a baby and then deciding to have plastic surgery done on it because you aren't partial to the baby's nose.

It looks just like mine! I've been in the Philippines for a week...maybe I should check to make sure mine is still at home and not in your house Melissa!

Congratulations!

Agreed, the BBR is one of the nicest colors RIC has put out. And it's particularly stunning on a 350. Congrats Melibee! I think we need to have a new Breitsprecher Family Portrait. It's been awhile since we've seen the brood, and you may have more Ricks than John Hall has on his museum wall!

Wow! Very nice, Melissa!!!! Looks like you have the "new" headstock shape without the maple-walnut sandwich -- a transitional model. Lovely 350.

...and great photo BTW

A family portrait? I don't think I've ever done one, although I've taken pictures of different groupings of my guitars from time to time--I don't think they would all fit in one picture, LOL!

"More Rics than John Hall has on his museum wall"?

Nah, that would probably be Elys Rand or Graham Griffiths, LOL!

Melisa, when I bought my 350V63 the only
color that the store would order was Jetglow.
I asked them if they could get a BB and they
said that they just want to stay with the
standard colors. That's one fine looking
350V63BB.

Congratulations Melissa! Your new guitar is great.

A Blueburst 1997SPC/VB (or F series) would probably be my dream...

Beautiful Guitar...
...do you think I could introduce my wife to your hubby, and maybe he could give her some encouragement on increasing my collection of Rics? I 'd love to have a Blue Burst, of probably just about any model, maybe a bass!
